announces the launch of the new ISOLUTE® SLE+ 1 mL Supported Liquid
Extraction 48-well plates, enabling the extraction of larger sample
volumes (1 mL total load volume) than presently possible in the
microplate footprint.
Uppsala,
Sweden (June 30, 2014) -- Biotage
(STO: BIOT), a leading global supplier of solutions and technology
for analytical, medicinal and peptide chemistry, announces the launch
of the new ISOLUTE® SLE+ 1 mL Supported Liquid Extraction 48-well
plates, enabling the extraction of larger sample volumes (1 mL total
load volume) than presently possible in the microplate footprint.
The
new ISOLUTE® SLE+ 1 mL sample volume 48-well plates are packed with
ISOLUTE SLE+ material; each well containing sufficient ISOLUTE® SLE+
material to efficiently extract 1 mL of aqueous sample. Existing
96-well formats have a maximum capacity of 400 µL, the new plates
enable customers to extract larger sample volumes and therefore
achieve higher sensitivity, higher throughput and lower detection
limits.
The
new plates are ideal for the extraction of small molecule drugs,
metabolites and endogenous biomarkers from biological fluid samples
prior to analytical techniques such as LC-MS/MS and GC-MS. Analytical
chemists in clinical, forensic toxicology and Pharmacology will
appreciate the high throughput and extra sample capacity.
As
with the other products in the ISOLUTE® SLE+ range, the same simple
load-wait-elute procedure is used with this new 48-well format
reducing method development time.
The
plates can be processed using microplate compatible positive pressure
manifolds, such as the Biotage® Pressure+ 96, vacuum manifolds such
as the Biotage® VacMaster™ 96 and most automated liquid handling
systems.
The
plate is arranged in a 6 x 8 array; with 48 samples being processed
per plate a higher throughput than equivalent column formats is
achievable. A new compatible 48-well collection plate is also
available with a 5 mL capacity so that the entire elution solvent
volume can be collected with no need to swap collection vessels.
